Had the thieves guild bug after the completing second quest. It tells u to meet maven briar whatever but she doesn't prompt next quest. After reading online looks like lots of peeps have this issue. Apparently u have to go fine maven immediately after or else you get stuck and can't move forward.

Oh well wanted to start new anyway so as good a time as any. Few things I want to do differently now after being level 20.

Yeah, I dont think I should have leveled smithing so early. :/ and I wish I did more thief skills and less tank skills...hiding in the shadows is surprisingly fun.

My second play through I plan on using the slow leveling patch, and most likely focus on being more stealthy and thief like - sneak, speech, light armor, pickpocket, 1H and bows.

I'd love to get the Ebony Mail daedric armor i have right now but a light armor version. It has an enchantment of better sneaking and all hostile enemies in your immediate vicinity take 5 poison dmg per second.

there's no point to light armor once you have the silent perk for heavy. that ebony armor makes you silent too, so other than the carry weight, im not sure why you would want a light version

Because I won't be putting points into Heavy Armor - hence it won't be silent, and since i'm planning on making the second run through character a primarily stealth/bow/dagger character - who stealths in Heavy Armor?

well, either you put points into light or heavy, the difference being that heavy armor has a perk which gives you one of the main advantages of light armor. items like the dark brotherhood boots will muffle you as well which you can get fairly early in the game.

yeah, not saying your wrong about that. but early game its probably better to stick light armor, and to increase perks within it since it would be difficult to play the stealthy/sneak type with Iron Armor clinging around.
